| Dear WGC Donors & Friends, |
A Woman Needs Our Help - $1,000
A young woman needs our immediate assistance. She is 26 years old and has two children. She has been on her own since she had her first child at age 15. She does not get any assistance from her family.
For the past two years she has been working full-time and she makes $12.50/hour. She lives in a three-bedroom apartment with rent a little over $1,200 per month. Recently, her roommate, who is the father of both children, left her and did not make any provisions to help her with rent or any other expenses.
Now, the young woman has an eviction notice for next week.
We can help by donating $1,000 so this woman has a chance to keep her housing.
After this month she will be seeking a roommate to help with the rent until she is accepted into a transitional housing program in January 2008.
Please contact Arlene Sheff if you can assist this woman and her family: arlenehs@comcast.net
Thank you very much for your consideration! |
